Salus RT500RF The Salus RT500RF is a wireless thermostat that allows for remote temperature control of your heating system. It has a clear digital display that shows the current temperature, and its intuitive interface makes it easy to program desired temperature settings. The thermostat is compatible with a variety of heating systems including gas, oil, and electric, and can be used with both underfloor heating and radiator systems. The wireless capability allows the thermostat to communicate with a receiver unit, which is connected to the heating system, up to a range of 30 meters. There are more expensive brands on the market. For instance, Honeywell offer a tonne of wireless thermostats. But, they’re typically a lot more expensive than the equivelent Salus stat.One of the key features of the Salus RT500RF is its energy-saving capabilities. It has a built-in temperature sensor that monitors the room temperature and adjusts the heating accordingly, reducing energy wastage. The thermostat can also be programmed with custom schedules, ensuring that the heating system is only on when needed. There's also 7 day programming if you'd like your heating system to automatically operate in the same way every day.

What is a programmable room thermostat? The cold winter months are when your boiler is at its most vulnerable. Cold temperatures can lead to pipes freezing (condensate pipes are at most risk), which can lead to your boiler breaking down and a potentially hefty repair bill. This switches the heating on and off. The control centre will then operate the temperature sensing and control side of the thermostat. Runs on batteries (2x AA) which can be frustrating should they run out of power in the depths of winter and you don't have any spare.Before we go into detail about the Salus RT500RF thermostat, we should find out exactly how a programmable room thermostat works. The biggest let down is the fact this is not a smart thermostat. Smart thermostats, although they’re a lot more expensive tend to allow more flexibility for your heating and hot water (especially in larger properties with zones), and that helps to improve efficiency.
